Beetroot Tartare with Golden Raspberries & Almond Brittle

Inspired by the ritual of a classic steak tartare, this dish reimagines tradition through a plant-forward lens. Hand-cut beetroot is meticulously seasoned using the fundamental elements of a traditional tartare, creating familiar depth with exceptional lightness and clarity. The crisp acidity of green apple amplifies the beetroot's earthy sweetness, while gold-leafed golden raspberries introduce delicate fruit notes and visual refinement. Almond brittle completes the composition with a precise caramelised crunch. A study in contrast and balance, the dish celebrates purity of ingredients, technical restraint, and understated luxury.

 

Bluefin Tuna Tataki, Sesame, Oscietra Caviar Gold, Smoked Tomato Ponzu

Rooted in Japanese culinary tradition and refined through modern technique, this composition celebrates the integrity of premium bluefin tuna. Lightly kissed by heat and encased in toasted sesame, the tuna offers exceptional tenderness and depth. Smoked tomato ponzu lends bright acidity and delicate smokiness, enhancing rather than overpowering the fish. Avocado and wakame goma contribute creamy richness and layered umami, while a precisely formed sushi rice ball provides subtle structure. Finished with Oscietra Caviar Gold, the dish delivers an elegant balance of salinity, freshness, and texture. A restrained yet luxurious interpretation of contemporary fine dining.

This tuna dish immediately caught my attention just from the presentation. The combination of the beautifully presented tuna with sesame, avocado, smoked tomato ponzu and Oscietra caviar sounds incredibly well thought out. The colours, textures and different elements come together beautifully on the plate. I haven’t had the chance to taste it myself, but looking at the creation, it’s definitely a dish I would love to try.

At first glance, these two dishes immediately make you want to taste them. The presentation is incredibly elegant without feeling overdone, and every detail seems to have its place. I especially love the combination of colours, shapes, and small accents that make these creations so special. You can instantly see the creativity and passion behind them. Even though I haven’t had the chance to taste the dishes myself, they definitely make you curious about what Christoph has to offer in his cuisine. For me, two truly impressive creations.

I had the pleasure of meeting Christoph Siebentritt and experiencing his cuisine. His dishes combine exceptional precision, creativity, and outstanding flavor. You simply have to taste his creations to truly appreciate the attention to detail and craftsmanship behind them. Equally impressive are his professionalism and his genuine, approachable personality. What is particularly remarkable is that his dishes look just as flawless on the plate as they do in his photos.
